The 911 may be Weissach’s staple sports car, but the Cayman has one key advantage: its mid-engined layout.

So when Porsche came around to offering a new model, it had the tough job of attempting to improve one of the best chassis in the industry without ruining the vehicle’s inherent balance or detracting from the driving thrills.

It came up with the 718 Cayman. Complete with a refreshed exterior, tweaked interior and improved handling, there’s no denying its greatness as a sports car. But with the adoption of a turbocharged four-cylinder, is it as fun as its predecessor?

Auto Express recently set out to answer that question by driving the current range-topping Cayman S on a tight little test track. Throwing up some interesting conclusions, this review could spark some fierce debates. So what are you waiting for, watch it already!
